Selecting the proper base metal and alloy is crucial to the sucessful application of a self-lubricated bushing. There are many factors to consider that influence the the bearing suitability to the application. Some are Speed, Load, Environment, Mating Material and Temperature.
This is the general use base material and is most common. Best in medium load and medium temperatures. Speed: 250 SFPM, Load: 1,000 psi, Temp: 450°F, P.V.:20,000
Most widely used for Bridge Bushings and Plates and becoming more popular for bushings. Used in extreme load applications. Speed: 25 SFPM, Load: 3,500 psi, Temp: 600°F, P.V.:70,000
Extemely tough alloy and commonly used for continous heavy duty applications. Speed: 100 SFPM, Load: 3,500 psi, Temp: 500°F, P.V.:50,000
Typically used as an insert into a housing, but also sold as a sleeve bushing. Performs well at slow speeds and low turbulance. Shaft finishes should be 10-30 RMS for this to work properly. They can withstand temperature from 0°F to 1,100°F. Load: 3,500 psi, Temp: 1,100°F, P.V.:25,000
We also have other base materials available. A couple that come to mind are; an oil less Sintered Bronze material, a high temperature bronze that can handle 800°F, Sintered Iron Copper, and the full range of Bronze as the base material. If you have a drawing/print or an idea, we are here to help.
Start the process and join our hundreds of satisfied customers.
Available in a complete line of self lubricating bronze products that excel whenever standard lubrication is impratical. Especially in heavy load and high temperature applications. They come as sleeve bearings, washers, wear plates, and can be inserted into Pillow Block type housings.
